Search - Undaunted Courage: Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson and the Opening of the American West

If you really want to understand how difficult life was on the open plains, this is a must read. A great piece of history and a very interesting story that gives you a fresh look at a true American Adventure.

Great Book. Really gives a complete history of these events based on all he could find. Reads like a novel and makes the greatest adventure come to life, especially for anyone who has been to those parts.

An indepth look at Meriwether Lewis, Thomas jefferson and the westward expansion. I got a clearer understanding of what it was like to be part of this look at America's History. Action packed and a book that held my interest from cover to cover.

The difinative history of the Lewis & Clark corps of discovery. A must read for any student of American history.

A decent overview of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Ambrose provides a detailed narrative of the preparation, journey and aftermath of the adventure. He is clearly much to in love with the subject however spending an inordinate amount of time on the preparation and post journey developments for my liking.

Still the book offers an excellent glimpse into life on the frontier and the exciting adventure undertaken.

Book was good, like alot of Ambrose's books if you liked his other books you'll like this one. I'm a fan so I maybe bias.
